Mpeketoni 'mastermind' guilty despite phone data, says State

Data from Safaricom displayed in court suggests one of the alleged masterminds of the Mpeketoni massacre could have been in Malindi at the time of the attack.

Close to 100 people were killed during the attack that began in Mpeketoni on June 15 last year and spread to other parts of the county. The violence was claimed by Al-Shabaab. Hamadi Swaleh Hamadi alias Jesus was arrested alongside driver Diana Salim Suleiman and charged for the murder of 65 people.
